Nightfall Chapter 59: At the bottom of the abyss, beside the pond
"It turned out to be so, so what does it mean?"
Although he still didn't get the final answer, Ning Que took a step closer to the truth, and got closer to the idea of the subject, or it was just a small step, which was a big gain. .
Because according to the usual mode of thinking, it is impossible for him, Yu Lian, or Big Brother to come to this conclusion, or that no one dares to come to this conclusion.
The Dao Sect wants to weaken Haotian, or even perish—this is not as simple as deceiving the master and destroying the ancestor, it is fundamentally contrary to belief and logic. It is impossible for anyone to think like this!
Everyone in Jane didn't know what the Master was thinking, but she could understand Ning Que's confusion and pain, so she used two unreasonable passages to show him the way.
She used Ke Haoran's sword, the most direct way.
People always say that the destination of the trip is not important. What is important is the scenery you see along the way. In many cases, it is just the self-comfort of the loser, and there is no excuse for the courage to move on.
Looking back at the destination, the scenery on the road is actually more beautiful and clearer.
Life is the same, and thinking is the same.
Ning Que looked back at the mountain road, looked at her back in the cliff, and understood that if this woman went to practice, she would definitely become the pinnacle figure, she was just not interested in those.
He is very grateful for her guidance, just like thanking her for the things she did back then.
From Weicheng to Chang'an, he has been under her care. When he entered the Red Sleeve Trick at the beginning of the year, she began to discipline him, because she looked at him and remembered the boy who rode a little black donkey.
Thinking about the first time we met a few years ago, thinking about the absurd stories in the red sleeve tricks, thinking about everyone Jane who made Feng Yuexing of Tang Dynasty afraid to do his own business, thinking about the past He couldn't help but sigh for a long time because of the slander and gratitude at this time, his face was full of self-deprecating smiles and emotions.
……
……
Guardian wanted Haotian to weaken.
This is something that Ning Que is certain now. As for why, he has a vague guess, but he still can't grasp the most crucial light, or it has been bright, but he can't believe it.
Even if the sun goes out, life will continue.
I don’t understand the intentions of the Lord, and the world situation cannot be changed. The war between Tang Dynasty and the earth is officially opened again. The city of Chang’an is full of the smell of tension, and the states and counties continue to send grain and grass to the border. The Ministry was brightly lit throughout the night and kept dispatching troops.
The world outside Tang is also a bit chaotic. The news of Ye Su’s death brought down the Protestant’s momentum. However, according to the dark guard’s intelligence, there has been no large-scale retreat. I believe that after a while, we will lick the wound. , Protestantism will flank a stronger force instead.
Since the war has begun, then we must win. This is the principle of doing things that Ning Que has always adhered to, and it is also the principle of life of Datang, but it is really difficult to implement.
The most elite Yulin army in Gyeonggi was transferred to Qingxia, ready to go south to Cheongha County. On the surface, this was because Ningque was there, and Changan didn’t need to worry about defense issues, but it also meant that Tang Guo was now suffering extremely Under great pressure, even the Habayashi army must enter the battlefield and prepare for field battles.
Ning Que stood on the city wall, watching the falling snow, watching the Tang Jun marching in the snow, and remembering that since the beginning of the war, victory seems to be someone's principle of doing things.
Is Ye Hongyu really dead?
With the subjective acting style and wisdom, since Ye Su is going to die, she must die at the same time, and will not leave her any way to survive, and according to his perception of the night, she really has no way to survive.
Zhishouguan Taoist, Temple Master Xiong Chumo, Nanhai[***]hai.
Faced with such a lineup, Ning Que was not confident that she could escape, and presumably she could not.
But I don't know why, he always feels that Ye Hongyu is not dead, because a woman like her shouldn't just die silently. He has an unreasonable confidence in her.
……
……
There was dead silence in the Xiling Temple, and countless priests and deacons were kneeling in front of the stone steps. Their faces were very pale, and their fear was extreme, because the thunder was ringing above their heads.
The light curtain made up of ten thousand rays of light was trembling constantly by thunder, as if it would fall at any time. The tall figure behind the light curtain was trembling, because of anger or fear?
Ye Hongyu jumped into the abyss, and Zhang Jiao and [***] Hai and others determined that she was bound to die, but they did not rest assured that they sent many people down into the abyss to find her body.
The abyss under the cliff is extremely dangerous. The person in charge of this task is a powerful man in the South China Sea system, and there are many masters of Taoism. Even so, they returned to Taoshan after more than ten years. When they came back, only less than one-fifth of the people were still alive. The most important thing was that they failed to bring back the body that the Master Headmaster wanted to see, so they could only bring back a very bad news. .
The violent voice of the master teacher exploded in the temple like thunder. The people kneeling in front of the steps were terrified and uneasy, not knowing what punishment they would face, and no one dared to speak.
I don't know how long it took, the head teacher finally calmed down, and his voice became calmer. Only the subordinates who were really close could hear the anxiety in that voice.
"At all costs, find her, then kill her."
……
……
Xiling Temple failed to find the remains of Ye Hongyu at the bottom of the abyss, but found several ruts and traces of people walking by, which illustrates a shocking fact.
Ye Hongyu is still alive. She jumped from the fence to the cliff, breaking the clouds and falling. She is still alive when everyone thought she was going to die. She did what only Haotian could do.
How did she do it?
If you want to start from the beginning, you have to go back half a year ago, when a letter left the ruling temple and was sent to a certain place through the most secret way, sending out an invitation to the other party.
If we put it briefly, then we can turn the picture to that night-the night when the palm teacher Xiong Chumo, the middle-aged Taoist and [***] Hai besieged Ye Hongyu.
In the day before night, Yu Youxian and Chen Qi talked generously in the Taoist Temple, and on behalf of Ning Que, they extended an invitation to Ye Hongyu and expressed the contempt of the academy and Tang State to the entire Xiling Temple.
Because of Ye Su's and his calculation of the subject's will, Ye Hongyu did not accept Ning Que's rough invitation, but did not ask the master to kill them, but instead put them in the You Pavilion.
You Pavilion is a place used by the Xiling Temple to detain apostates and remnants of the demon sect. The guard is extremely strict. Numerous formations are waiting to kill people at any time. For countless years, no one except the old man Wei Guangming has been able to use this Fleeing from the prison, Chen Pipi was imprisoned here, even Ning Que could not do anything.
Xi Youxian and Chen Qi were escorted into the deepest part of the Youge by the black deacon of the Judgment Division, and locked up in a squat cell behind the iron fence. At that time, they had no hope of leaving, knowing that they would eventually be waiting for themselves or death. , Or the saying that never see the sky forever-either way is very desperate.
What comforted them was that from day to night, no one came to interrogate them. The rumored horrible methods of the ruling division did not fall on them.
They simply wanted to understand that they did not become bloody, not tortured so much that they just wanted to commit suicide, only because of Ye Hongyu, and only she would do it.
Tonight or tomorrow, she may ruthlessly kill Yu Yuxian and Chen Qi, but she will not torture these two people. This is a great tolerance.
She didn't accept Ning Que's invitation, and it seemed that she didn't want to make Ning Que angry.
Xi Youxian and Chen Qi sat in the cell, looking at the stone wall, silent. Except for a bucket of clear water, there was nothing in the room, and no one brought food.
No torture, no terror punishment by the adjudication division, but no one paid attention to it. The long wait is actually a cruel torture. I don’t know when someone will come in and kill them. This mentality The anxiety on the front directly made Yu Yuxian a little uneasy, and his face became paler.
Chen Qi thought about things much deeper than him. He was wondering if no one paid any attention to both of them. Is Ye Hongyu waiting for them to hit the wall and commit suicide? The quiet environment is always easy to make people think about it, especially for him who is good at conspiracy, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that this is the case.
Ye Hongyu's tolerance and compassion should be a chance for both of them to commit suicide.
He told Yu-hyun, and Yu-hyun's face became paler. After hesitating for a while, he asked what he should do next-hit the wall immediately, or wait another night?
Chen Qi didn't hear—just as Yuxian spoke, there was a terrifying loud noise outside the cell, which completely covered up the most courageous question in his life.
Following the terrible loud noise, there was a shock immediately, and the cells hidden deep in the mountain began to vibrate violently, and the clear water in the bucket kept swaying, splashing out a lot.
Xi Youxian held on to the wall and stood firm with extreme difficulty, feeling a little dizzy.
Is this an earthquake?
Chen Qi's expression became a little stern, and he walked quickly to the stone window and looked into the cliff outside the prison room. Only the bright moon in the night dome was seen, but no other pictures were seen.
He heard very clearly that the previous horrible crash came from the night sky outside the cliff, and the vibration should come from the heights of the mountain, indicating what happened in the heights.
Immediately afterwards, there were a few loud noises from the top of Taoshan Peak, and the vibration spread to the cell. The clear water in the bucket dipped out more and more, wet the ground, and then flowed in front of Yu Yuxian.
Xi Youxian took two steps back and looked at Chen Qi's pale face and asked: "What's the matter?"
Chen Qi shook his head and said, "I don't know."
They are prisoners now. Naturally, they don't know that at this time, in the black temple of ruling on the top of Taoshan Peak, the powerhouses at the top of the Dao Sect are fighting for life and death.
Those horrible crashes, those horrible vibrations, are the effects of battle.
With the sound of footsteps, Yu Youxian and Chen Qi looked back, only to see a black deacon walking to the fence, taking out the key to open the fence, and beckoning them to follow.
The black deacon was about forty years old. His face was extremely pale. It wasn't that sickly pale, and it had nothing to do with fear. It was just the result of not seeing the sun in countless years.
Take the key, open the fence of the cell, and signal the prisoner to come out. When the deacon did these things, his pale face was calm and natural.
Xi Youxian and Chen Qi glanced at each other and saw each other's doubts and anxiety. Changes came suddenly, but they didn't know whether it was good or bad. After leaving the stone room, they greeted them with death or what?
Leaving the cell, they were greeted by a long passage. The passage was made up of stone walls. It was about one and a half people high and no more than two people wide. It stretched diagonally from a warehouse behind the You Pavilion to the bottom of Taoshan. The dim light turned them on. The shadows of the two and the black deacon were reflected on the dry ground, and their footsteps were very clear.
No one came out to stop him, and the black deacon walked in front of him blankly, seemingly convinced that the entire Youge was asleep at this time, even if the footsteps were louder.
The passage is really long. Xu Yuxian and Chen Qi walked inside for two hours. They walked to sore feet and dazzled eyes. Their calves were about to cramp. They hadn’t seen the exit yet. Chen Qi keenly discovered this passage The walls were covered with a faint gray, there were traces of being blown by the wind, and the dripping oil stains on the oil lamp holders were somewhat new.
Seeing the traces of the wind, according to the inclination angle of the passage and the walking distance, he should have almost reached the bottom of the mountain, he relaxed a little-the passage was going to the end-then he became nervous again, all kinds of details All are proving that no one has walked through this passage for at least decades.
In the secluded pavilion of Xiling Temple, there is such an unknown escape route. Who built it? Where is the black deacon taking him?
Chen Qi guessed the truth of the matter, but was even more shocked and puzzled. Ye Hongyu, as the ruling priest, naturally knew the greatest secrets of You Pavilion, and those secrets that the masters did not know, only she was able to make the entire You Pavilion. Both remained silent, but why did she secretly release herself and Yu Yuxian?
The passage finally came to an end. The black deacon pressed a blue brick to disarm the mechanism, took out the Dao sword, and carefully pulled out several bushes with deadly thorns in front of him, bringing Yuxian and Chen Qi with him. Went out.
Outside the cave is freedom. There are countless stars falling from the night sky, filtered by the clouds and mist between the cliffs, and enveloped by the miasma at the bottom of the abyss, turning from milky white to a strange purple.
Chen Qi and Xu Youxian looked at the weird purple starlight, and the joy of being free and the confusion brought about by them were equally strong, and they were shocked for a while not knowing what to say.
The black deacon didn't give them a chance to speak, and flipped over his palm and stuffed two pills into their mouths. When Xu Youxian reacted, the pill had already entered his abdomen and melted away. He was furious, especially when he felt the irritation and burning sensation between his chest and abdomen, thinking that he was poisoned, and was extremely angry.
If you want to kill in the cell, you just want to kill me. Why should I be released from the cell and only poisoned after walking so long to the outside of the Pavilion? After giving hope, let people despair, what kind of pain is that, do you judge that the people in the temple are abnormal, and don't you know that my feet are worn out after walking so far!
Xi Youxian languished in terror. He was a little confused, thinking about these messy things in a daze, waiting helplessly for death. But he waited for a while, instead of sinking into the dark ocean, he became more and more awake...
What's wrong? He stood up in a daze, shook his head, and it took him a long time to fully wake up. When he saw the miasma under the stars and remembered the information he had seen in Chang'an City, he realized that the pill was not a poison. It was a pill to relieve the miasma, and couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, patted the rotten leaves on his body, and walked to the black deacon and Chen Qi in front of him. He was about to move forward, only to realize that they didn't mean this at all.
Most of the trees at the bottom of the abyss are vines, and there are no large leaves. It is not accurate to say that it is a forest. Logically speaking, the view should be relatively open, but it is actually not the case. Most of the starlight scattered in the night sky is covered by the clouds and mist between the cliffs, so it turns into that weird purple. After they stand for a while, the surrounding mists are getting thicker and the environment is even worse. It became very dim.
Xi Youxian noticed the extremely thick rotting leaves under his feet, looked at the shadows of the vague vines around him, and remembered the horror of the abyss behind the secluded pavilion in the legend, suddenly felt a little cold in his body.
The mist in the abyss has naturally accumulated toxins, and there are even more resentment thoughts left over after the death of countless prisoners in the precipitous secluded pavilion. The mixture is extremely terrifying, and he is standing in these mists at this time.
Xin Youxian knew that if he hadn't taken a detoxification pill, he would have died of bleeding from his five orifices at this time, and he is still alive now, so he is still very scared, especially when he is surrounded by vines and trees. After the scream of animals screamed, cold sweat quickly poured out of the forehead that had just been dried.
Poisonous miasma, there are powerful creatures that have lived in poisonous miasma for countless years. It is said that no one has ever been able to get out of this abyss. Can they go out? If you can't go out, isn't it still a dead end? Xu Youxian thought with trepidation, looking at Chen Qi and the black deacon who were still standing still, wondering why they didn't move on.
The wind came down from the cliff, thinning the mist in the forest, and the stars fell again. Only then did Yu Yuxian notice that there was a pool nearby, and there was a faint shadow on the side of the pool. The shape should be a carriage.
In such a dangerous place isolated from the world, there is actually a caravan? Whose carriage are those carriages? Who is on those carriages, who is waiting at the pool? Wait for yourself? Then why don't we go there?
Xin Youxian escaped tonight and met the mortal abyss. After repeated shocks in his spirit, he has become a little confused and kept thinking about these messy things.
Chen Qi is the think tank of the Yulong Gang. He is known for his ruthlessness, and he is naturally much calmer. He only looked at the carriage over there and looked up at the night sky like the black deacon beside him.
Something should fall in that night sky.
At this time, Chen Qi has vaguely understood something. It seems that the academy's strategy has been successful, and Ye Hongyu is going to betray her, but why does she choose to leave late at night, and choose such a dangerous road?
What puzzled him the most was that Ye Hongyu would really like the black deacon’s gaze suggesting that he would later jump off the top of Peach Mountain and fall directly here through the clouds and fog?
The top of Taoshan Peak is as high as the sky, and there are countless dangers between the cliffs. The mists at the bottom of the abyss are also terrifying. No matter who jumps down, it will die.
Sangsang can survive because she is Haotian, and Ning Que can survive because Sangsang jumped down with him, and finally hugged him tightly in his arms when he landed.
No one came to hug Ye Hongyu. Sangsang has already returned to the kingdom of God, so how does she live?
She can’t live, Chen Qi thought desperately. The three masters of Taoist master Xiong Chumo, middle-aged Taoist and [***] Hai thought so, and even the master thought so. .
There are two shocking formations between the cliffs at the foot of Peach Mountain, and there are many ancient restrictions in the clouds. Those are the wisdom accumulated by the Taoist for countless years. They do not belong to the management of the ruling temple, but are like living ones. Wisdom operates on its own, and naturally becomes stronger and stronger through heaven and earth.
Except for the drop between the top of the peak and the bottom of the abyss, the most dangerous place in the night sky is the road that is not a road. The most dangerous thing is not the toxins in the mist. It is the formation that represents the wisdom of the Taoist. It's impossible to get rid of it in a short time, let alone the moment of falling, who can do it?
However, there was a sound of breaking through the cliff, and someone really jumped off the peak!
Chen Qi's expression became extremely tense. He was not Ning Que. It was impossible for him to have such blind faith in Ye Hongyu. He always felt that he would see Ye Hongyu's death in the next moment.
Yes, just as he thought before, no matter how powerful Ye Hongyu is, even if she suddenly learns Yan Se's brilliant rune skills, she can't survive.
But she still jumped down.
She was severely injured by the three giants of the Dao Sect, and then she walked to the fence, instead of leaning on the railing to look into the distance, she walked to the cliff with the starlight very calmly, and fell into the abyss along with the snow.
No matter how you look at it, she must die.
At this moment, a very complicated formation formed in the mist at the bottom of the abyss. At the same time a formation formed on the cliff and two formations met in the purple starlight.
Xi Youxian and Chen Qi don't understand, why the first time they feel the formation, they subconsciously describe it with taste, or is it because the formation does have a taste?
It was a smell of pig iron, and there were rust marks on the iron. It was a bit sweet, a bit bitter in the sweetness, and there was a sense of excitement that was hard to explain in words. Then, the taste changed again. The taste of the stone, to describe it more accurately, should be the taste of the moss on the stone. It is moist and moist, and the greenness of some plants. It is amazing that there is no greasy feeling on the tongue. The moss seems to be instantaneous. Did it.
What does the taste of pig iron represent? tough? What does the smell of stone and moss represent? Yuxian and Chen Qi were shocked and uneasy, and then they felt that breathing became difficult.
The reason why they have difficulty breathing is because they feel that there are countless stones in their chest and abdomen. Those stones are sharp and angular, and they are extremely uncomfortable.
What kind of formation is this? They looked back in shock, looking at the beginning of the formation-the carriage opposite the water pool, guessing who was sitting in that carriage, so powerful!
